muppy Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 We can all say Thank goodness the Bills brain trust traded Up to draft him when they had the chance. The consensus of QB's being #1 or 2 or 3 in ratings was not at all consistent. I am so glad they looked at #17's intangibles of height, intelligence, arm strength and drafted him. With hopes of he being the franchise QB we have been wanting for decades. HE"S HERE!~!~!!!!! and its Not luck for me, lucky means random chance occurring. its all skill....***swoosh***** 🙂 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a thread where this was an under thrown pass. Another to Gabe maybe and a low pass to McKitrick for the TD Just go deep is what Josh said to Diggs And it worked. the turf monster tripped Diggs and he fell making it look under thrown. Somehow I don’t think “Just go deep” is an actual play call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE"S HERE!~!~!!!!! and its Not luck for me, lucky means random chance occurring. its all skill....***swoosh***** 🙂 Many years ago, I decided to stop fretting about who was drafted, where they went, and whether or not it made sense based on the need at the time. I read reports, follow to an point but beyond that I just like to enjoy draft day. In that regard, I was very happy with the JA pick, and had no preference other than I thought Rosen really had the potential to be abrasive and perhaps lacked critical leadership skills (admittedly based on very limited information). So, I was happy they took him, spent no time worrying about draft order and what they gave up to get him, the knocks on him and settled in for the show. What a show! The very cool part of the JA years for me has been the return of fun to the Buffalo Bills. He’s been such a special player to watch, he seems like a very good guy, and the dynamic of the team improved so much. I would have loved to see a SB win or two along the way, and the pain of a bad day still stings, but damn if this is not a great ride. Kudos to BB and McD for what they’ve done as well, of course, and all the players who connect with each other and the fan base. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddaryl Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Like many here, and after 50 years of Bills fandom, old fans like me have seen more than our share of "swing and a miss" attempts to fill the QB position. My concern was his accuracy, and my ability to find convincing cases on college QBs with sub 60% completion averages that went on to solid consistent careers. I was a fan the moment he was a Bill, but maintained concerns that faded with each and every great play. Watching him play QB coupled with the organizational transition that has happened in parallel is an Amazing experience to be a part of. Josh Allen is the face of the NFL in the making. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I'm sure that came into conversation more than once... They liked his traits, and believe those traits would feed his motivation to improve and be the best could be. be. I assume they probably analyzed his throwing motion and saw very correctable traits. Edited September 11, 2022 by ddaryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Stonada Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 In every way, Josh is my favorite Bills QB ever. And I say that as a big Kelly fan growing up. But even as a young teenager, I could see he could be a jerk at times (before he matured a lot). The way Josh's teammates love and appreciate him is a whole different thing. That that combines with his physical creaturehood, his dawg toughness, his smarts, his insane will to win and improve, his being funny as hell and even a good actor is something just... like... HOW DID THIS GUY HAPPEN? You can't love it enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to BB and McD for what they’ve done as well, of course, and all the players who connect with each other and the fan base. to the bolded black leo my take is that the team has been built to the juggernaut they appear to be now bit by bit. Piece by Piece. Drafting, free agency signings and resigning players we drafted. It has been a fun ride for me personally all along actually. But after the Dallas Thanksgiving game is when I KNEW he was the One. And ever since I have a sense of just GRATITUDE. To have as our star QB a guy who is such a humble smart incredibly gifted person in so many areas. I can't help but think of cleveland and how I would feel if THAT guy was Our QB **shudders** To the red I say as so eloquently stated by Von Miller recently "BURN IT" That was Then this is NOW. Buckle UP my friend. Steady as she goes. A Great start has me more jazzed than I think Ive ever been over a team But the fanbase affectionately called the Bills Mafia itself has me feeing so proud of my team for alll the good they have done outside of football.

Passing up on Mahomes was unfortunate, but we ended getting the better QB in the end (along with a top 5 CB.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruffalo Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 These are routine throws by Allen now. They're only improbable for people not named "Josh Allen". The man is a human cheat code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the idiots in the Dolphin forums, it WAS a massive underthrow (as well as the one to Davis) that proves Allen's arm strength isn't that impressive. Apparently Tua is more than capable of chucking 56+ air yards while on a dead sprint to his right without underthrowing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
